ed .
Heim —Ater gaming through the morning order.
the bill wait taken op by the movie o u -eeriest, read
ing to pros ide for the completion ul the North Branch
Canal
The first section authorizes a loan of 11;850 000,
(.1 sum deemed sufficient to complete the canal.)
pledges the tolls at the Nonh Blanch for interest
and final reimbursement, and denominates it the
Nar , h Branch canal loan.
Mr. Bonham moved to amend by imterting rr and
•ho Allegheny Portage Railroad" so as to make it
read " the Noah Branch Canal and the Allegheny
Portage railroad loan." Mr. B remarked at length
upon his preposition to amend, and sustained it on
the ground that both these works were equally en
titled to the fostering care of the Commonwealth
and shoclil stand or fall together—that a railroad
lntlllrpllJrh, without planes, between the canals at
Hollidaysburg and Johnstown had, under the rival
ry with the Central ritthriarl, become indispensable
to the preservation of the great main line of our
public work's—that when the central road was com
pleted, if the present obstructions of planes continu
ed t i nt the Portage, it would offer such superior (a
ctinic.'" to Impair es in saving time and expellee, as
to certainly withdraw a great portion of business
from the stale works, if not to reader them not worth
keiyitig in repair.
Mr. !they opposed the amendment, not on the
ground of 'civility' to either work but because he
thought they should be separately acted open. He
was triendly to both and was now prepared to vole
in favor of the North Branch loaf' ; but before he
could advocate an appropriation for the avoidance
of the plates, lie wanted more definite information
as to routes, probable cost &c There were no
maps. no estimates made team careful surveys, no
authentic well considered data before the 14w-la.
lure on which discreet action could be based. He
believed :here had been as yet no careful survey
made, with reference to avoiding the planes on the
eastern slope of the mountain. Before he voted
money he wanted to know where it was to be ex
peiiitert, vrhno the ttttt • work •voold cost and the
probable time requisite for its completion. As soon
as this informal* could be obtained he was ready
to volt an ample appropriation from any surplus
that might be in the Treasury And such he be
lieved was the general disposition—he had no doubt
that lithe tenth* of the members of the house were
in favor of avoiding the planes and only wanted the
facts and information requisite, to hike the subject
up in a brisiness•like manner prvivious to taking it
err for thud action.
Mr Scent. spoke in favor of the amendment.— 1 1
He was in favor of both works and willing in vote
appropriations to them in one or in separate bills, 1 ,
though lie thought as they were important parts in
the same areal system of improvements there was
a strict propriety in inutirig them in the same bill.
Mr. Mars opposed the amendment—there was
not sufficient information to determine upon - the
best plan of civercomine the difficulties justly com
plained of in crossing the mountain. It was possi
ble that arrangement could be made with the Cen
tral railroad vompany to use a part of their road, by
which the cote of the cameraman' of some 16 miles
of the mad to avoid the planes might t e saved to
the State. He was opposed to log-rolling the two
measures together in the same bill, and hoped that
NA would be permitted to stand upon their own
merits.
Mr. Hart referred to the appropriation mai a last
year and complained that it hail not been applied
according to the understanding had at the time—it
was to be used exclusively for the avoidance of
planes Nos 2 and 3. and the grading was to be for
a doable track. This understanding hail been yin.
hied—other portions of the line had been- put tin
der cnntract, and the grading. he had been inform.
eil, was tar a single track, which was abogether un
sufficient for such a work. and would greatly an--
hanee the expense of finally making a suitable con
nection by a double track.
Mr Bonham entered fully on the reason' in fa
vat of his amendment. In replying to Mr Han,
be spoke of the deep interest Phtlailelphte had in
the Central radtoad. in ernisaipience of the lap'e
municipal and tudiciUual onhscriptintis made in
that (ratter no the capital stuck of this company,
au tti el e n i to create an interest. that i the minds of
man y, mould be greater than that felt in the main
line of the state improvements. From this be
could not tint feel some dreamt when the gentle
men imm Philadelphia was speaking upon a guts.
